thus proving the strength and tenacity Of
early traditions. The citrus exhibit
ton held recently at Sacramento
furnishes the clearest possible de-
monstration of the existence Of a
great citrus belt extending all along
the foothill regions from Shasta to Te-
hachepi, and embracing largely the en-
tire alluvial area exhibited upon the map;
! and yet the exhibitors were beset constantly
with questions from skeptics. All this,
however, is rapidly passing. The high
values which have attached to real estate
in Southern California are by no means
fictitious. The prosperity of that section
is being founded upon small holdings.
Twenty acres of irrigated land devoted to
fruit culture will give employment TO more
men throughout the year than GAO acres Of
land in other portions of the State devoted
to wheat culture. The rising tide of home
seekers from Eastern States which has
been attracted by the genial climate of
Southern California, win not long remain
in ignorance of the equal climatic and
other advantages of other portions OF the
State. The high prosperity and marked
success which has attended the effort to adj
vertise abroad the great natural resources
Of one portion of the State will be imi-
tated in other localities, and it is, there
fore within the bounds of safe prediction
that what We have witnessed in Los An
geles and San Bernardino counties will
find early repetition on a vastly broader
scale when experiment has been applied TO
the more valuable and more inviting field
of Central and Northern California.

A visit to DR.. Green's Laboratory, ct
Woodbury., n. j., has considerably changed
our views, and especially our pTejudices. in
regard to what are generally known as
" Standard Patent Medicines OF course
we are getting to that age in life when We
are forced to conclude Life itself IS hum
bug, and naturally distrust anything that
has not withstood long and tried expe-
riences. Being 3 physician. had the Gu
riosity to know how such . sale Of two
medical preparations could be sustained
for so many years. The perfect system
upon which the business is conducted, anc
the pharmaceutical arrangements for the
manufacture of the two recipes with which
we were made acquainted, are sufficiently
convincing to US that the AUGUST FLOWER,
for Dyspepsia and Liver Complaints, and
BosCHEE's GERMAN SYRUP, for Throat and
Lung Troubles, were, for the complaints
they are recommended, most excellent
remedies, and only regret that in much Of
our practice medical ethics prevent Us from
prescribing them without making the
formulas public. When we we're shown
the great quantity of voluntary letters hay
ing been forwarded DR.. Green from all
parts of the country, and from al classes
OF people, lawyers, ministers and doctors,
giving description of their ailments, tes-
timonials of their cures, etc, feel like IN

better returns from leaner lands than any
other product, except it may be vines,

THE ALMOND.
The Best Varieties and the Successful
Method of Culture.

The Best Varieties and the Successful
Method of Culture.
A. T. Hatch, of Solano, recently read
the following brief essay upon the almond ::
There are as many varieties of almonds as
there are of peaches, though generally it is
supposed there are only three kinds. The
almond requires considerable room, say
not less than twenty-four feet apart, and
farther apart is better. They will not grow
in the water, nor do well in a heavy, poorly
drained place. The almond root is the hest
for the almond, although they do well on
peach roots They will not unite well with
apricot roots. The almond will do well on
lands not rich enough to produce good
crops CT peaches, apricots or cherries. No
shrubs or vegetables will do well between
almond trees after the first year, if the al
mond trees do well, as they are many and
longtime feeders Almonds, to pay the
grower, should bear well every year, hull

It is perfectly preposterous to introduce

They will not. Nor is it possible thus to

CALIFORNIA SILK.
An Industry that Promises to Become OF
Great Importance.

An Industry that Promises to Become OF
Great Importance.
The silkworm cannot be reared in every
country, or in every region, but only in
those sections where the mulberry tree
vegetables and grows in the open air. No
where does the mulberry grow more luxu-
riantly than in California, where the soil
and climate seem peculiarly adapted to it.
In March, 1885, the California Legislature
passed an Act establishing a State Board of
Silk Culture, and provided funds for the
expenses of the same. 1t has proven very
effective.
Samples of silk raised and reeled in Cali
fornia have been forwarded to silk manu-
facturers in New Jersey and New York,
and we have received tiattering reports that
the silk of California is superior to the i'm
ported French and Italian classical silk A
test has been made at this flature with
three ounces Of cocoons; when reeled they
produced one ounce of raw silk We are
quite sanguine on the outlook of the prog
ress Of the silk industry throughout the
State This industry is one that
REQUIRES VERY LITTLE CAPITAL.
It's a home work, and when a sufficient
number of mulberry trees are planted
throughout the State to feed the worms, it
will furnish employment for the women
and children. The work is light, pleasant
and remunerative, and worms from an
ounce of eggs, carefully reared, will pro-
duce from 125 TO 40 pounds of cocoons.
Women can by this means earn enough
money TO clothe themselves and contribute
toward the general support of their fani-
lies, and keep the girls at their homes to
work at this home industry.
THE CLIMATE OF CALIFORNIA
Is superior to that of silk-raising countries
in Europe Quite an interest is being taken
in this glorious climate by parties from
Europe, who are writing TO this Board re-
questing to have colonies of silk-culturists
migrate TO California to carry on the silk
industry in this country.
California has natural advantages for
sericulture so great that, understood and
utilized with the energy characteristic Of
our people, the result viii be that leading
place among silk-producing countries will
be rapidly attained. 1t is within our
power to exercise the discretion which has
marked our national and industrial devel-
opment, TO appropriate those things which
have been found to be good in the expert
ence of others, to start without the ham
pering traditions and habits of other coun-
tries. 10 organize in the best manner to
develop with the greatest rapidity and to

THE CITY PHYSICIAN
Makes His Annual Report 10 the City
Government.

Following is the report of the City Physi-
clan:
To the Honorable Mayor and City Council /:
Gentlemen, have the honor, as City Ply
stefan, to submit the following report for the
year ending March 81, 1887:
Services rendered the poor Visits to the
almshouse, 81; visits to out patients, 1877 ;
Office prescriptions, 70; obstetric cases at
tended at almshouse, obstetric cases out
patients attended, 2. There has been the
usual amount of sickness at the almsbouse,
but all the cases were of chronic nature :;
there have been five deaths there from the
general debility of old age, one from heart
disease, and one from consumption. There
has been much sickness among the out-pa.
tients. Measles have been epidemic. but for
tunately of mild type. Typhoid fever has
also prevailed 20 an alarming extent but very
few cases have resulted fatally, however.
There have been three deaths among the
poor not at the almshouse, one from Bright's
disease, one from consumption and one from
chronic enteritis.
The Overseers of the Poor, in their report.
will suggest to you the need of two bath
rooms, with an abundant supply of water, at
the almshouse. In my opinion, from sani-
tary point of view, this matter should be
attended to as soon as practicable.
Following is the mortuary report from
March Is, 1886, to March 81, 1887, with
causes or death;
Zymotic diseases-Typhoid fever 5, measles
3, scarlet fever 1, diphtheria l. Local dis
eases-Apoplexy and paralysis 10, asthma l.,
Brights disease 2. brain disease 7, bronchial
disease l, childbirth /, Group 3, catarrhal
fever 2, cholera infantum 6, dropsy 5, enter
tits 3, gangreue l. gastritis l, heart disease .,
kidney disease 2, liver disease 3, pneumonia
., peritontis 2, spinal disease l. Constltu-
tional diseases-Consumptio %, cancer q.
scrofua l. Accidental and other causes
Suffocation l, old age IS, unreported IA.
There has been a total of i43 deaths during
the past municipal year; this makes the death
rate per thousand l6, which is larger than
that for any year for the past twenty years.
In my opinion more careful method OF
reporting and recording deaths during the
past year has had much to do in bringing the
mortuary report up to its present high figure.
Respectfully submitted,
G. II. BRICKETT, M. ID,
City Physician.
